Great Statistics Book for "Data Science" Self-Learner

A "Head First Statistics" book is an easy read and a great starting point for learning of the fundamental
Statistics topics, and it is best suited for those interested in learning on their own.

Although I would not ever think of this book as a primary textbook, I consider it a perfect book for self-learners. There are very few books that on Math that one can pick up and truly learn from on his or her own.

This is the one.

It is probably the only book in the field of Probability and Statistics that allows uninitiated or barely initiated reader to acquire good understanding of the basics of this important and often hard to grasp discipline.

Topics covered correspond to the undergraduate course in Probability and Statistics for non-Math majors. I most liked how are fundamental topics such as variance, standard deviation, Bayes rule and probability distributions explained using memorable examples.

There are plenty of helpful although silly exercises throughout the book and at the end of each section. All solutions are provided.
